Is there a specific reason you are looking WebView instead of using the way Cordova already does it. For Windows 8, Cordova basically packages your app as a WWA. This gives you additional benefits if you look at the app from Visual Studio.
If you are looking at writing Windows 8 app and only looking to embed webview for a smaller part - note that Windows 8 apps already support Javascript and HTML. What is this "bigger app" written in? -----Original Message----- From: Jian Ouyang [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, December 17, 2013 3:35 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Embedded WebView support on Windows 8 I am not a Cordva developer, but I do use Cordova for cross-platform development. My suggestion is that you use the CLI to create an application for the Windows 8 platform and go through the code, if you think you can augment the code for you purpose, use it. Otherwise, forget about it. Cordova's Windows 8 support is not based on embedded web view as Visual Studio already comes with store apps dev in javascript only so why bother for an embeded control. The support is quite neat if you really get into it.
